New guy here new to turkey hunting too

[Frank G]

Hi everyone I'm new here and I have deer hunted my whole life but never been turkey hunting. I wanted to try my hand at it this year but not sure where to start. I hunt national forest land and have seen a lot of turkeys but don't even know where to begin. What kind of call should I get? All I have is a Mossberg 500c 20guage is that adequate for turkey? Are there any particular tips I need? The area I hunt is pretty extreme in elevation change. Just needing some help to get started.thanks everyone

Oh did I mention "PATIANCE"  Easy on the calling "none" is better then to much If your hunting hilly terrain, get in early and above them. If it has a beard "smoak" it.

I would start with box or slate call. Also get a mouth call to practice with. I keep one in my car to practice on for the sake of my family.

lol! I practice with mouth calls drivin around for the same reason!
